Spain has become one of Europe’s most closely watched real estate markets — a place where repricing, demographic shifts, and investor appetite are colliding. But as global capital weighs its next move, a fundamental question emerges: is Spain’s moment defined by opportunistic timing, long-term conviction, or simply the search for yield where others hesitate?In this episode, Cristina Perez Liz, Head of Spain at Octopus Capital, shares a candid and deeply informed view of what is really happening on the ground as Octopus launches its first continental European real estate platform in Iberia.Cristina explains why “living” should not be reduced to a financial product or a set of bricks. Housing has a real impact on people’s lives — and that belief shapes Octopus’s strategy across senior care, affordable living, and other socially critical sectors. She also challenges the popular narrative around office-to-residential conversions, calling it an elegant idea that simply won’t solve the housing crisis at scale.A compelling part of our discussion touches on capital flows and competition. With valuations in flux, are the early movers genuinely smart — or are risks still not fully priced in? Cristina also emphasises a lesson many foreign entrants overlook: in Spain, long-term relationships and local trust aren’t optional; they’re the real differentiator.Tune-in to get first hand insights!--SUBSCRIBE TO [iP] AND GET TO KNOW THE NEWS:+ https://iberian.property/----------------Disclaimer:The opinions expressed in the Editorial Videos of Iberian Property are the sole responsibility of its stakeholders.----------------Sound Design and editon: Marildo MontenegroMusic: Deep Mind - Jeremy Black#RealEstate #Investment #IberianProperty  #Portugal#Spain #Properties #inversión #investimento

As summer winds down, Europe’s real estate sector returns with renewed focus. The first half of 2025 was shaped by uncertainty.For Portugal, this environment plays to its strengths.

Real estate is increasingly competing with bonds and infrastructure, raising the question: is property still the safer bet? In the context of a new global order marked by economic, political, and monetary turmoil, understanding where we currently stand in the real estate cycle has never been more critical. In this episode, José Pellicer, Founding Partner at Evonite, provides valuable insights into these shifting dynamics and their implications for investors navigating today’s complex landscape.A particularly compelling part of our discussion features the renewed importance of risk analysis. To achieve the same returns seen in the early 2000s, investors must now navigate a far more complex risk environment. This reality forces investors to return to fundamental principles, such as understanding occupier tension and analysing catchment areas, to make more informed decisions on where to deploy capital.Tune-in to get firsthand insights!--SUBSCRIBE TO [iP] AND GET TO KNOW THE NEWS:+ https://iberian.property/----------------Disclaimer:The opinions expressed in the Editorial Videos of Iberian Property are the sole responsibility of its stakeholders.----------------Music: Deep Mind - Jeremy Black#RealEstate #Investment #IberianProperty  #Portugal#Spain #Properties #inversión #investimento
